OSR, Forgie, Old School,New School, who gives a shit. If it's roughly compatible with any form of vaguely D&D game, and you like it, post it here. Include why it's good and who makes it.

Off the top of my head I can't think of one, but this should be a cool thread.
If this thread dies before the rpg site it self we have all failed.

Starships & Spacemen Second Edition - Basically a Star Trek: The Original Series game with the names and serial numbers filed off, using the Labyrinth Lord ruleset. It's worth it just for the random alien forehead table alone.

Basic Fantasy - Never played it, but I own a hard copy of it. It uses a B/X Dungeons & Dragons baseline with ascending AC and separate races and classes, and I wanted to use some of its adjustments with Starships & Spacemen. Basic Fantasy has a lot of support available.

Apes Victorious Goblinoid Games presents Planet of the Apes, 1970's style, Labyrinth Lord based rules. I like it because the future history has 1970s astronaughts leaving Earth in near light speed craft, a nuclear war, and all the other PotA tropes.

I approve of this list. It contains my next purchase, too, the Five Ancient Kingdoms;)!

But it doesn't have Dark Sagas, Dungeon Questing and Tales & Legends which you can find on the page of MHGames and it doesn't know that the Crimson Blades is on its second edition, so there's something to be said about this thread, too:D!
